Code of Skater Responsibility & Waiver
For the safety of all participants in this facility, some common restrictions are in place.
For public skating and other on ice activities, I understand the safety restrictions include but are not limited to the following: NO speed skating, NO playing tag, and rough play. Further, I will BE AWARE of others, of physical limitations, and of skate training equipment used to help assist inexperienced skaters.
I understand that even under supervised conditions there is the possibility of serious injury in any activity. I certify that this participant is able to participate in any on ice and off ice activities. Participant/Legal Guardian, on behalf of Participant, understands that the Participant attending any events hosted by Ice Realm LLC and any affiliated entities, does so at his/her own risk. Ice Realm LLC and its affiliated entities shall not be liable to Parent/Legal Guardian and/or Participant for any damage whatsoever arising from any personal injury or property loss sustained by Parent/Legal Guardian or Participant in or about any games, training, or other events on the premises where Ice Realm LLC or their affiliated entities host the event. Participant and/or Legal Guardian assume full responsibility for all injuries and damages sustained during the term of this agreement and they do hereby fully and forever release, discharge, and hold harmless Ice Realm LLC and its affiliated entities and their employees, agents and representatives from any and all claims, demands, damages or rights of action, present or future resulting from Participant’s and/or Legal Guardian’s participation in any Ice Realm LLC related activity, without exception. No roaming of the facility. Only active participants are allowed in the training area.
I acknowledge that I have read these guidelines, understand, and will abide by the safety restrictions as depicted above and listed herein.

(8) MEDIATION, NON-BINDING ARBITRATION AND VENUE: If a dispute arises out of or relates to this AGREEMENT and/or Ice Realm LLC and/or EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS and/or any ACTIVITIES and/or an incident that occurs while on the PREMISES, and/or while using any items purchased in or about the PREMISES, as well as the installation, design, construction, and condition of the PREMISES by Ice Realm LLC and/or EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS, involving a single claimant, or claimants who are related or asserting claims arising from a single incident and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct negotiations, and unless the parties agree on a different mediation or non-binding arbitration process, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Mediation Procedures available at http://www.adr.org before resorting to non-binding arbitration. Thereafter, any unresolved claims shall be submitted to non-binding arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its Non-Binding Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that Rule R-2 (e) is amended to allow an answer to be filed within thirty (30) calendar days. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Ice Realm LLC is located. In-person hearings will take place pursuant to the Non-Binding Consumer Arbitration Rules in the county/parish and state in which Ice Realm LLC is located. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any non-binding arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree to mediation and non-binding arbitration of any and all claims, disputes and grievances, not otherwise excepted herein, arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT, the participation in any on-site ACTIVITIES and/or while on the PREMISES, and/or while using any items purchased in or about the PREMISES, as well as the installation, design, construction, and condition of the PREMISES by Ice Realm LLC and/or EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS. A copy of the Rules mentioned herein may be obtained from the AAA by visiting AAA’s website at http://www.adr.org. The scope of this AGREEMENT is intended to be as broad as possible under applicable law, and shall include all types of negligence, tort, contract, statutory and administrative actions. The parties further agree to submit to non-binding arbitration the issues of substantive and procedural arbitrability, including defenses to arbitration and all disputes regarding the enforceability, interpretation, breadth, scope and meaning of this AGREEMENT. The parties reserve their rights to resolve disputes involving less than $10,000.00 in an applicable small claims or district court in the county/parish and state in which the Ice Realm LLC is located that are within the scope of the small claims’ or district court’s jurisdiction. In the event non-binding arbitration does not totally resolve all claims, it is agreed that the sole and exclusive venue for any lawsuit filed against Ice Realm LLC shall be in the county/parish and state in which the PREMISES are located. It is further agreed that the substantive law of the State in which the Ice Realm LLC is located shall apply without regard to any conflict of law rules. Unless all parties agree otherwise, the non-binding arbitration decision or award may not be entered in any federal or state court having jurisdiction.
